Club Trials/Selection Weekend
Saturday 3rd September / Sunday 4th September 2011
Over the weekend of Saturday 3rd September and Sunday 4th September we will be running a packed set of hockey sessions to enable team captains, coaches and managers to begin to understand their teams for the forthcoming season. With all teams within the club having a successful 2010/2011 season we want to build upon these successes with another great performance during 2011/2012. The weekend will be organised nearer the time by team officials and all players will be contacted nearer the time to confirm final details and timings for matches. This is also a great weekend opportunity for potential new members to come along and meet the club and find a team that is suitable for their ability. We pride ourselves in our diversity in team standards, running 6 mens, 6 ladies, 1 veterans and 3 development teams next season (not to mention the volumes of minis) we can provide standards from the
top Premier Mens league downwards, and the East Womens league downwards, teams represented in pretty much every league run within the East. This is a great weekend opportunity for existing and new members to get back into the season and challenge for those places throughout the club.
Please note, if you cannot make this weekend due to holiday commitments then this is not the end of the world, it is just an element that will help team officials for next season, if you miss this then you still have the training sessions and pre-season friendly matches to prepare for the season ahead.

Training Sessions
Pre-season training has began again in earnest. If you haven't noticed yet, there have been some alterations to training times for the coming season, so, it is important that you check the 'TRAINING' section of the website to view the changes that may affect you. Also, in light of the Men's first team being promoted, they, and the Men's second team, will be undertaking two training sessions per week.

2011 Norfolk JDCs
Norfolk Hockey Association have arranged some JDC Talent Roadshows over the summer.
The sessions are to encourage more young people into the county JDC and JAC programme. EHB and the Norfolk Hockey Development Group are working together to make the 2011/12 programme the best yet.
The Roadshow days are a great opportunity to have a fun day playing hockey whilst picking up the latest skills in this exciting Olympic sport. The sessions are aimed at boys and girls aged 12 to 17. There are three venues and players are able to attend one or more days.
Players with potential will then be invited into the Norfolk’s Single System talent programme which includes Junior Development Centres (JDC) - coaching from September to November and Junior Academy Centre (JAC) programme which will take place from January to May 2012.
Players already involved in the county JDC or JAC programme are encouraged to attend. (Not applicable to JRPC players.)
